Anadromous Fish Counter
for Small Streams
SMU Senior Design
2016
Senior mechanical engineering students at SMU can pick a project of their choosing, to work on throughout the year. I immediately called up a friend from WDFW and asked if they had any fish conservation projects that could use some engineering know-how.
​
Our goal was to create a modular, low-impact and affordable fish counting system that can be utilized in small to mid sized streams, where a larger installation would be impractical.
Throughout the development, we designed to mitigate the challenges of variable flows, unpredictability and harsh environmental conditions.
